This article notes that Joe Kennedy got smacked around again on Thursday before the rest of the game got rained out. Even the A's have to be worried at this point, regardless of how well Kennedy thinks he's throwing the ball.

Also in that article, there's a note that Lenny DiNardo is being stretched out, possibly to join the fifth-starter race. Me, I didn't even know DiNardo was on the team. I thought he was still a Red Sock.

Colby Lewis has also joined up, but he'll apparently be headed to Sacramento to start the year.
